“Perfection is not attainable,” legendary football coach Vince Lombardi once said, “but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.”

In the uncertain world of executive recruiting, perfection is difficult to achieve. Competition runs rampant, with quality firms competing for the opportunity to serve the world’s finest organizations. As a result, Charles Aris team members take pride in their evolution as a process-oriented group of executive search consultants who work tirelessly to deliver results to clients and candidates who entrust them with important pieces of their respective futures.

Executive search requires an acute attention to detail, a willingness to engage in difficult conversations and discipline to see the process through to completion. Not all are cut out to succeed in this environ, so ensuring that our team is ready to effectively serve yours is our primary focus at all times.

From there, we deploy the industry’s most detailed Priority Search Process to place A-level talent in mission-critical roles for client organizations around the world. Our 22 Guiding Principles ensure transparency throughout this process.

Here’s how we do it:

• Principle No. 2: We work hard

While we always strive to “work smart” at Charles Aris Inc., long hours are a given. What makes us different is our sense of urgency. We make it happen and always strive to outwork the competition. Executive search often presents a number of tripwires which can stall the hiring process, but we work tirelessly to generate progress in an effort to fill client’s most important roles as effectively and efficiently as possible, no matter the obstacles.

• Principle No. 4: We never take shortcuts

Our interview-to-hire ratio is rightfully earned, as we implement our 14-Step Priority Search Process in each and every search project. This detailed approach enables us to identify, recruit and land Qualified, Available and Interested (QAI) candidates in a targeted fashion and in a timely manner. Shortcuts result in mistakes, poor quality and longer search cycles. In contrast, our Priority Search Process ensures the efficient delivery of QAI candidates.

• Principle No. 16: We follow up on everything

Communications in the executive recruiting industry can often be lost in translation, with parties losing sight of the personal element in each search. A major differentiator in our process is the fact that we do what we say we are going to do when we say we are going to do it. Charles Aris practice leaders and associate recruiters make it a priority to stay in frequent communication with clients and candidates alike. If a previous understanding cannot be fulfilled, we notify each party in a timely fashion to recalibrate and focus on a new arrangement.

There are no shortcuts within the walls of Charles Aris Inc. – our annual results attest to that. Every search requires the same level of focus and detailed execution to successfully fulfill.

Whether you’re the founder of a start-up or a hiring authority in a Fortune 500 firm, or a candidate interested in making your next career move count, our proven process will generate results for you. Call the Charles Aris team today at (336) 378-1818 to learn more about what we can do for you.
